Turning point in the making: Project 412 rolls out

A first glimpse of Project 412’s super-sized scale.

Following Royal Huisman’s announcement for its new XXL commission in May last year, the shipyard team will be turning the main part of the Trident series hull number 2 at its Vollenhove facility.

A hallmark moment in any superyacht build, the hull turning reveals the true scale of Project 412 and marks the transition from primary structure to the next phases of outfitting and systems integration. She will be a super-sized 81m / 266ft sailing yacht. The aluminum hull construction features a distinctive chine from bow to stern. Created for a true sailing experience and world cruising, the contemporary flybridge schooner will be equipped with a state-of-the-art carbon rig supplied by Rondal, combining performance with sail-handling comfort and innovation.

Project 412 is part of Royal Huisman’s successful Trident 810 series. It builds on a proven architectural platform, benefiting from the confidence that comes with an already engineered foundation. Having the original delivered in 2020 and the second one under construction, owners benefit both from a reliable, short project lead time: the opportunity to personalize and realize a fully bespoke superyacht, delivered in just three years.

Peter Naeyé, CEO of Royal Huisman, comments: “Project 412 reflects the deep trust we value so highly from our clients, especially when an owner returns to build upon the proven architecture of Royal Huisman’s flybridge schooner. I am proud of our great team, who made this turning point possible within just ten months. We are looking forward to today’s important milestone as we bring her one major step closer to the water.”
